Worth it? - Collecting Tiki

If you try to make it into a lamp, you WILL shatter it and have nothing. Most float lamps are not floats at all, but other globes with a net around them. Most of what's in bars are not actually floats but must be made by OA or someone to look like it. You'll notice the thin string on the net, not heavy rope as would be used. So what you have would be rare if it's a thick glass float cut and made into a lamp. If so, steal. If not deal.
